|
| Representatives from Department of the Interior
and Local Government based in La Union were present to give
their support. They cited some good qualities of candidates
and emphasized the qualifications of a good and dedicated public
servant. Despite heavy rains, candidates from 39 barangays (from
Kapitan down to their Kagawads) were patiently listened to the
speeches that were delivered. |
Some Sangguniang Kabataan candidates were present
during the orientation but most of them were in school attending
their classes. The gathering ended successfully and the people
hope for a peacefull, honest, and orderly election. This proves
that we have good leaders now and hopefully the next batch will
be as good. |
